Beschrijving van de verkoper
The Septon was Voigtländer's premium lens for the Bessamatic and Ultramatic leaf-shutter reflexes, a seven-element, five-group design introduced in 1959 and made until 1969. It is a heavy lens for a 50 mm, built with the chrome-plated brass barrel and the depth-of-field indicators that mark the Bessamatic range, and it has a reputation for smooth rendering at f/2 that keeps it in demand for adaptation to mirrorless cameras.
This example has the chrome barrel with orange and black depth-of-field scale, distance scale in metres and feet, 'MADE IN WEST GERMANY' on the aperture ring and the DKL bayonet with its aperture coupling. The serial number on the front ring reads 6301728. The number places the lens in the last years of Septon production.
Condition:
Cosmetically very good: chrome bright with light marks only, engravings crisp, front element clean, rear bayonet with the usual brass tone on its contact surfaces.
At least one of the glass elements has balsam separation, not fungus or haze. Balsam does not show up when taking photographs, but it could reduce the resulting contrast to an extent. Recementing of the affected elements is possible at a competent lens service technician.
Included in the lot:
Lens only. No caps or case.
